Method notes written for the professionals who rely on this material: what makes a measurement usable, and where documentation has to stop.
Most properties are captured several times a year by different vendors for different reasons. The cost is not just the repeated mobilisation — it is that none of the resulting records reconcile.

A measurement without a stated method and intended use is an assertion. Two short statements turn it into evidence.

Reality capture vendors drift into conclusions they are not qualified to make. Drawing the line explicitly makes the work more useful, not less.

Most asset registers are accurate on the day they are delivered and wrong within eighteen months. The fix is structural, not clerical.

A baseline is the first reviewed capture of a property, structured so later services can build on it instead of starting over.

A digital twin is a visual and spatial model. A Property Intelligence Record is the structured evidence layer underneath it. They serve different jobs.

Aerial capture establishes the site and roof. Terrestrial LiDAR fills in interiors and detail that a drone cannot reach. Neither replaces the other.

Three outputs from the same capture, each suited to a different task. Knowing which one a decision actually needs avoids over- or under-scoping.

Ground control tightens absolute accuracy. It does not fix a poorly planned flight, and it is not required for every intended use.

A field visit scoped for cost-segregation evidence goes faster and produces more usable output when a few things are arranged in advance.

A documented pre-loss condition narrows the range of disputes after a loss. It does not determine coverage or valuation on its own.

Progress documentation exists to answer one question on a recurring cadence: does what's built match what was billed and planned.

Model-assisted detection speeds up structuring a capture into an asset registry. It does not remove the human review step before anything is relied on.

Property records outlive the software that created them. Open, documented formats are what keep a decade-old capture usable.

Tell us the property and the decision. You get a written scope with an exact price before anything is scheduled.
